MN-06: Endorsements don't always mean a whole lot in the waning days of elections, but sometimes those endorsements are significant. Like this one.
DFL congressional candidate Jim Graves’ campaign says it has secured the endorsement of former Minnesota governor Arne Carlson, a Republican.
Carlson, who served as governor during the 90s, has endorsed across party lines before. He's also "been sharply critical of Bachmann, comparing her to former Sen. Joseph McCarthy in a recent post at his blog." So this isn't a tremendous surprise, but it's still a good get for Graves, who is giving Bachmann a serious challenge. You can help him beat Bachmann.
Upgrade the Senate:
CT-Sen: I highlighted new polling from the DSCC which gives Chris Murphy a six-point lead over Linda McMahon, 46-40. Add to that Survey USA where he has a slight four-point lead, 47-43, and just cuz it happened and we have it, Rasmussen where they're essentially tied, 48-47 advantage Murphy. Click here to help Chris Murphy bring this one home.
OH-Sen: Josh Mandel is just kind of embarrassing. Watch this pathetic effort of his to lead a crowd in an O-H-I-O chant. Let's keep Sherrod Brown in the Senate, and that guy out.
MA-Sen: Scott Brown is getting more desperate, and sounding more and more like the Repubiican he pretends not to be. He's resorted to running a radio ad that tell the same big Medicare lie Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have been touting. His GOP stripes sure are showing since he's been losing. Please contribute to Elizabeth Warren's campaign here.
NM-Sen: Oh, Rove. His Crossroads GPS is sending out a mailer attacking Martin Heinrich for supporting the DREAM Act. Fine. Whatever. Except:
In Sunday night's debate with Republican Heather Wilson, Heinrich asked he if she would have voted for the version of The Dream Act that passed the House.
Wilson answered yes, she would have.
Keep it up, Karl. You can contribute to Heinrich's campaign here.
Daily Kos for Marriage Equality:
I really hate giving this guy any good press, but here you go.
For a single straight man, New York’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg has a lot riding on gay equality: The billionaire businessman-turned-politician, who has already donated $250,000 to a same-sex marriage campaign in Maryland, is now giving another $500,000 for marriage-equality fights in Maine, Minnesota and Washington State.
Be like Mike.
Support marriage equality, but your $3 donation will be adequate!
